Sex differences in arrhythmia predominance and ECG parameters may guide risk assessment; leaves open need for sex-stratified outcome trials.
Significant gender differences exist in the electrophysiology and epidemiology of arrhythmias, highlighting the need for sex-specific considerations in arrhythmia management and drug prescription.
Wolbrette et al. (2002) conducted a review in Arrhythmias. Female sex vs. Male sex was evaluated. Female sex is associated with a 2:1 predominance in atrioventricular nodal reentry tachycardia, while accessory pathways are twice as frequent in men.
